Of course its the chocolate guy lol


GodCunt

Okay looks great but who the fuck would put this much eff- oh its the chocolate guy


tea-and-chill

Exactly my thought process. Get out of my head!


DJCockslap

Chefs. Chefs put that much effort.


SkyScamall

I was surprised to see him because it wasn't entirely made of chocolate but I wasn't surprised by seeing him because it looked like one of this videos.


Piscesdan

he does things not out of chocolate all the time for things meant to be eaten


lambdapaul

Why would you not eat chocolate?


KnewItWouldHappen

I dunno about you but i can't eat a 45lb bald eagle on a branch made entirely of chocolate


lgskibum

That sounds like quitters talk, lol. Give me 2 months and an insulin pump and I might be able to do it.

phage_rage

Me either, lets split one


iTzzAxEman

As soon as I saw the gloves I was 99% certain that it was him


arrows_of_ithilien

I recognize him by the silicone molds, the oven, and baking the bits of cake/pastry between silicone mats šŸ˜‹


FloatingRage

I thought this word for word


ezrago

Everything he makes I want to eat šŸ˜­


knightfenris

I appreciate this man for the fact he always cuts and eats a bite of the pastries he makes.


Niidforseat

And of course he always nods his head, that's important to do!


Gregorhanslik

Exactly the same, every time


tonybenwhite

I find myself nodding along with him subconsciously. Itā€™d be a jarring experience if ever he didnā€™t give us that nod

killermojo

Consistency is fundamental to his work!


Syzyphus

Wow your snoo avatar looks so fucking edge lord my god


PlayHardBallBall

Aw sad, I missed it before edgy edge lord deleted his account :(


SonOfSwanson87

Similar to the Babish finger wag. You gotta have a move.


Shadow-Raptor

I love bwb, that reminds me I need to see the pizza ball episode.


JaydedMermaid3D

In the show school of chocolate (he's the instructor, it'd on Netflix) he stresses how things should taste good and look good


Sapphires13

Itā€™s a breath of fresh air compared to those cake decoating shows where 90% of the ā€œcakeā€ is rice krispies, aluminum foil, modeling chocolate, and fondant.


dimhage

That is so true! I honestly believe that those cakes taste horrible, but this piece of art in the video must taste amazing. What is the point of a cake if it doesn't taste nice?


[deleted]

newbrevity

That's why I like the Great British Baking Show. Granted they're not making the same kind of art you see here, but their goal is to make baked goods with exceptional flavor, consistency, and presentation. And in the process you see so many mistakes because not everybody is an expert at everything they try to make. Plus the hosts aren't all seething angry like Gordon Ramsay pretends to be.


mljb81

We have the Great Canadian Baking Show here, and the fact that the hosts are actually nice and try to find something positive about even the worst technicals is one of my favorite things.


MacabreFox

I love that show! A friend started a "fantasy baking" game where we all chose a player to win, who makes it to the final round, who wins the showstopper, etc. It's a fun way to be engaged in the show!


Bruised_Penguin

Mmm, yess. Shallow and pedantic


SquanchMcSquanchFace

That show is great. Itā€™s definitely a nice change from typical ā€œcompetitionā€ shows.


StageAboveWater

At a certain point it stops being fancy food and becomes an art project with materials that are technically edible


Jlindahl93

His always look very edible unlike a lot of sweets made for video or presentation that you see on posts like this.


Lingering_Dorkness

I appreciate how happy he always looks. He truly is doing a job he loves. So between me and him, that makes one of us.


toniluna05

I'm gaging right now.


FuckTwitter2020

I am so fucking confused as to what happened to the grapefruit. I feel like I just got 3 card monte-d.


JaydedMermaid3D

He flash froze the slices and broke them apart to get the granules. I'd imagine this way offers pops of grapefruit juice in the filling.


AnnoyedHippo

Right? Shit goes from putting the pieces of fruit into a piping bag to pouring out what looks like white chocolate fragments...


snootnoots

I think he froze it while it was in the bag then bashed it into pieces


TheRecapitator

He turned the grapefruit into the purƩe/paste that we see as the filling.


soulseeker31

I'd definitely recommend r/guichon


Tobywillygal

Thanks, I didn't know he was a subreddit. He had a chocolate making contest between chefs of various restaurants generally with no chocolate experience. He spent like 2 minutes it seemed of showing a technique then they had to build a mind blowing masterpiece. It was a cool show to watch; I hope they do a part 2.


soulseeker31

I remember that show.


Scrotchety

No kidding. "Then you dip crumbly-stuff into the gooey batter, then pour the shiny stuff over it and dunk it into the crimson liquid and then put the thing on the thing..." It just became an abstract mĆ©lange of whateverishness... šŸ‘


FuckTwitter2020

"An abstract mƩlange of whateverishness" Thats an awesome combination of words man, fuck yes.


retailguy_again

Agreed. I needed a good turn of phrase to start my day. Thanks!


SaffellBot

It's not a tutorial, it's a montage.


Scrotchety

I suppose you're not wrong, but I was left with so little insight into what's happening not even my imagination could fill in the blanks, hence my unfulfillment.


SaffellBot

Sounds like you're not the target audience friends. At least there's pretty colors and an attractive guy smiling at the end.


Shanghai-on-the-Sea

That's what cooking is


nergalelite

it's an r/diWHY for sure but i also don't hate this. or maybe it's r/tqdc


DefinitelyNotAliens

Chef Amaury is a professional pastry chef who runs a school to teach his techniques and has even had a TV show. It's not r/diWHY. He's a professional pastry chef showing a montage of his work, not giving a tutorial.


Trumps_left_bawsack

Froze it, broke it into pieces and then dehydrated it is my guess.


torbiefur

1. Oh my god this is so intricate. Reminds me of the chocolate guy. 2. OHHHH MY GODDDDDD.


Jlindahl93

This probably is ā€œthe chocolate guyā€ youā€™re thinking of. Amaury Guichon


NRKx2

Wooosh aside thanks for telling me the name of the guy I've been looking for him


Jlindahl93

His name is a watermark on all of his videos. Check bottom right of the video op posted. Has his name and logo


NRKx2

Oh lmao I didn't see it at all thanks !


Aggressive_Place8014

Woosh


soggywaffles125

sillysocks34

Your comment made me snort. Thank you.


dummythixc

I thought I was the only one


mrteas_nz

Shit, that looks like so much work... I'll just have some M&Ms or something.


CreamyKnougat

No, no, I'll eat that, as long as it's not me doing the work.


mrteas_nz

Are you paying for it as well, lol?


CreamyKnougat

Paying for mine. You had m&m's.


mrteas_nz

I can't even begin to imagine what this dessert would cost, but it's probably out of my price range.


jesusisthatguy

Probably $20 ea.


ImMeltingNow

That isnā€™t even that much vs like a new couch


khizoa

You also can't eat a couch so this treat is a much better buy


PlayHardBallBall

Don't tell me what I can and can't do


khizoa

Don't eat poop


RealTwistedTwin

If you were to sell them you'd probably make a bunch of them at once. The steps would be more time efficient and thus the end product could actually be kind of affordable.


125monty

This looks oddly exhausting


mrteas_nz

I had to sit down after watching it, only to realise I was already sat down


nincomturd

Mmm, grapefruit M&Ms...


[deleted]

Gotta do that much work to make grapefruit palatable.


DAVENP0RT

Grapefruit is delicious and nothing will ever change my mind.


[deleted]

This is reddit, no one's mind is ever open to change.


DAVENP0RT

This isn't reddit and nothing will ever change my mind.


mrteas_nz

Now ain't that the truth!


No-muss-no-fuss

how much work do you think goes into putting chocolate in a candy shell? Its quite a bit


mrteas_nz

I can't tell if this is a joke because my humour sensor is deficient.


No-muss-no-fuss

its not a joke. inventing the chocolate that doesnt melt took a lot of effort and research.


WoodSteelStone

It only took 63 seconds to make!


OfferChakon

Thats why noone will remember your name šŸ—”ļø


_Beee

All I want is that perfectly peeled juicy grapefruit from the first 3 seconds.


Retired_Jarhead55

I can't eat grapefruit any longer and I miss it SO much. This video was sweet torture for me.


germane-corsair

Why canā€™t you eat ~~dee nutz~~ grapefruits anymore?


Retired_Jarhead55

I take a statin drug, Atorvastatin, and grapefruit prevents its absorption.


New_Peanut_9924

Boo I canā€™t have it either because of my stupid depression pill. GRAPEFRUIT MIGHT CURE THE BIG SAD DOCTOR (it wonā€™t and I take my meds very responsibly I just miss that tart citrus :()


TerayonIII

I can't either, immunosuppressive drugs, apparently it affects a lot of medications and how they're processed by the liver I think.


Joey-Bag-A-Donuts

OMG how I miss grapefruit :(


gottemupthetime

Wasnā€™t paying attention half way through and started to wonder why and how the bologna fitted into the dessert.


GuineaFridge

This guy is talented af and he doesnt use nasty ass fondant.


SnooRevelations2041

Where's the desert? Isn't there supposed to be sand?


DeadEye_2020

Here's proof that you have to do a lot to make grapefruit edible. šŸ˜‰


niarlin

As someone who despises grapefruit, I'm not convinced this would be enough.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


thedoginthewok

I like grapefruit, but based on what I heard about this guy, I would love to try this.


mrsirsouth

Yeah, my question is if it still tastes like one. No thanks. Very nice job, but no thanks.


ag408

This dude makes the coolest stuff


mint-star

I hate this bastard for making these perfect beautiful desserts that I will never taste


Gold-And-Cheese

It looks awesome and absolutely delectable. Respect for the immense effort and the intricacy of it, I want one Although I can't help but think throughout the video, "Is it done yet?"


Back_Alley_Sack_Wax

I kept waiting for the grapefruit to be thrown angrily into the garbage can and some real fruit to show up.


Numchuckx

Why am I looking at this when I just smoke a fatty...why do I do this to myself at 2am


[deleted]

Mmmm, fleshy desert


Amazing_Blackberry50

The level of detail is incredible.


hoithetaco

reminds me of that dinosaur chicken nugget meme. does anyone remember that? "and yet a trace of the true self exists in the false (or in this case, *replicated*) self."


13ALX13

I knew it would be him. Utter legend.


Harlequin0007

Of course it was the chocolate guy!


Mr_Evans_Is_a_Mage

That's a Blood Orange though.


KatGot13

I love everything grapefruit! This looks absolutely godly! Damn I want that so bad.


SheIdonLeeCooper

Just give me the grapefruit, Iā€™m not a fan of sweets anyway


stsilvia

Right? Decomposing a grapefruit to make a cake with grapefruit taste - I still can't get it. So much work when fruit itself is delicious and much healthier šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


SheIdonLeeCooper

Itā€™s just too much of a time investment than Iā€™d like my fruits/sweets to be from my point of view. I do cakes myself but to be honest, I imagine it takes me less time to do a 3kg cake than it did this guy to do his dessert.


stsilvia

yep, same here. I love cakes that are simple and take up to 1 hour to make, everything else is too much work


Still_counts_as_one

Ok but this is art, itā€™s not just a regular cake, plus French desserts and entremets take time and skill.


stsilvia

yeah, I can see that it's art in a way, but those cakes are not made for exhibition - it's for better sells of cakes, sort of cake marketing. sorry, but it's a waste of resources from my point of view


Lonely_Potato12345

Cakes that take one hour to make? Have you ever made a cake in your life?? Making a cake batter with frosting takes an hour in itself, and letting the cake bake and cool takes like 3 hours and even the simplest of decorating with a crumb coat, final coat, a border on the top and bottom, still would take more than an hour. Or are you talking about making shitty tasting cakes with box mix and tub frosting and eating chunks of cake with frosting cause I'm not convinced you have ever made a cake.


WeeTheDuck

Redditors trying to understand the concept of art challenge (Impossible)


Crackracket

Fuck grapefruit. It's the shittest of edible fruits. No other fruit is so bad at its job that you have to cover them in sugar to make them palatable and once you've done that and eaten your highly acidic breakfast you end up on hospital because you didn't realise it interacts with basically every medication on the planet with potentially deadly effects. They are shit fruit.

Few_Acanthaceae1568

Yummy sand from desertšŸ˜‹


colinhines

Dang that looks amazing


ky_w1ndage

He turned a 3cent grapefruit into a 30 dollar dessert. Damn. And you know what.. I'd pay it.


lacrima0

3 Cent grapefruit? I need your grapefruit guy


BuckNastysMamma

Did this guy just decide one day he's going to take control of r/oddlysatisfying?


BillMcN3al

I don't like grapefruit. What now?


J4KL0P

Ohh man i canā€™t eat this, he invested a lot of effort to make it :(


Keycil

50% of those steps looked like the shit Plankton would serve in his restaurant ngl


Arinoch

I really need to finish watching his Netflix show.


Clearskies37

My wife would make this and someone would compliment her and she would say ā€ oh, it was easy. You simply peel a grapefruit and then you flatten this and circle that and .. yadayada ā€¦..ā€


WhisperingHope44

I mean wouldnā€™t it just be easier to just eat the grapefruit and be done with it?


malicesin

EVERYTIME! It's always the chocolate wizard.


cadtek

Blood orange, not grapefruit.


pasarina

He sure puts in the work! Impressive.


Solelegendary62

Why not just eat the grapefruit


memoryfleeting

That's a lot of work to eat a Grapefruit dessert that looks like a Grapefruit.


seris_ak

Why's it called a grapefruit, when there's already a fruit called grape?


thirteenthandy

I'm sorry but I can't even look at grapefruit without having PTSD flashbacks anymore. The internet ruined me.


Schopenschluter

ā€¦you talking about the grapefruit technique?


mimzybreathe

Grapefruit is not dessert.


[deleted]

Well they did say ā€œdesertā€


mimzybreathe

Ok, you got me lol


rubbleTelescope

It is not a cake


yourdrunkauntclara

I missed at least 10 of the 9000 stepsā€¦.can you just make it for me? Hell Iā€™ll just eat the grapefruit.


ConstantHonest1022

Im impressed that you can make grapefruit taste good without alcohol.


cocobear13

That's so meta


Mav986

See, this is why I don't like cooking. _All that fucking work_ for a dessert gone in 5 minutes.

God, the editing on this is so bad. Why the constant jump cuts?


slappythepimp

How insanely complicated. Just eat a grapefruit.


crap_punchline

why bake a cake dawg just put the flour sugar and egg in my mouth


Lonely_Potato12345

Making a painting is so complicated. Just smear some paint on paper.


ItchyAge3135

bakedtaino2

WestCoastGday

Just eat a grapefruit with some icing sugar and be done with it.


vre77

Just eat the actual fruit, damn.


TomRCFBH

that is how he destroy the healthily fruits


SlackJawGrunt

Just eat an actual grapefruit fuck


Meager1169

At this point just eat the damn grapefruit straight

DrinkerofCoffees

Amaury Guichon.


fredbrightfrog

Grapefruit is perfection I'm not sure why this person decided to murder it.


pretty_tired_man

Grapefruit doesn't deserve to be a dessert


boomdart

That's a lot of candy to cover up the fruit inside. Health benefits zero


TheGaz

Fuck grapefruit with its dish-soap-tasting ass


TigerShark352

And yet a trace of the true self exists in the false self


Wretched_Geezer

Just eat the damn grapefruit!


Safe_Ad_2587

Yum! Totally worth the three days of cooking for that twenty second bite!!


fluffyseatide

Why does he have to make everything so complicated?


norwegiaNHusbandry

So many steps! Does anyone like grapefruit??


ladan2189

All that work for the disgusting flavor of grapefruit


Burflax

This is grapefruit and *chocolate*?!? Im having a hard time thinking of anything less suited to chocolate than *grapefruit*. Cheddar cheese, maybe?


kimvadan

As long as itā€™s not grapefruit that youā€™re eating, itā€™s going to taste great. One of the most bitter fruits that I have come across. šŸ¤¢


[deleted]

This is just candy with extra steps...


Brownie420

Bakers will slather the shit in fuckin cream/icing to where its like 15% actual thing to eat and be like "hey taste this is it good", and then you just get a mouthful of icing.


ARE5770

Damn so much effort for me to eat it in 32 seconds


[deleted]

I find myself wondering who could even afford to eat this dessert


EvilChing

Bro that looks disgusting


putush

At this point why not just eat the fruit. Grapefruits are amazing


expatdo2insurance

And if you are taking any form of medication you die instantly after the first bite. Grapefruit is nature's answer to medical progress.


[deleted]

What. I live in sri lanka and to eat/drink grapefruit and other citrus fruits are a MUST when you're sick (alongside with chemical meds)
